Only 11 days! But the checks will have been done at different hospitals. If I remember correctly @Bluetit1802 had different results with two tests done close together at different labs?

And thanks everyone for your good wishes!

Just phoned Surgery to check my latest (May) HbA1c results - a Happy Dance 43 after a little bounce up to 45 in January (due to pain from a bad case of weeping oedema, and stress over carpal tunnel issues, and slight dietary diversions over the Christmas period). I always see a slight rise due to illness, pain,.stress issues, and these tend to affect me more than any minor variations in diet so I was expecting latest result to be 45 or more again, mainly due to the stress and a bit of comfort eating which I'm not going to mention here , so a very pleasant surprise!

However, low carbing has mainly kept me stable between 40-43 for five years now which tells me that the dread diabetes is the least of my worries healthwise. I don't know about remission, but doctor and I both see it as being well controlled.

ETA : I've also just had yet another blood test last week as part of a pre-op check up before I get my hand fixed, so I'll be interested to see what that one says for HbA1c.
